We can't afford any passengers against your pack. Therefore I'd leave Carvs out, Mozza and Chilly to start with Woody and Coops benching. Harrison at 13 should add a some more grunt and aggression we were missing last Saturday.

The way it's going at your sinking ship you will be getting mullered most weeks next season.

Big blow for Wire if he's missing again, he's vital to what they do.

I think our best chance on Saturday is to keep it tight early, if they score a couple of early tries then they will win the game comfortably. However if we keep it tight and stay in the game the home crowd will become restless and the players will feel it and try to push passes to make things happen and potentially turn ball over. They have already lost two home playoff games in the last two seasons so they will have a few demons to overcome. We will be massive underdogs but we have a shot.

We got more than a shot Paulm!!!
in the heads of the players we will be the more confident thats a certainty , a few huge shots early on, then Omeley comes on and ruffles Mozz a bit and games is well and truly on then!!!
win or lose its been a satisfactory end to the season for me already so heres hoping FC treat this like their grand final match and come out laying it all on the line !!!

Can you translate please, or are you Paul Cullen?

My thoughts exactly PaulM. Wire will come out like a house on fire trying to kill the game off early, if we can stop the early attack and get under their skin they have a tendency to start panicking and then the mistakes start flowing.

Yep, that happened at Cats earlier in the season, and Wire got mullered, mind I am not expecting a mullering from either side just a 1 point win would do for me

I'm optimistic, but think they'll have too much for us over the 80. Closer game than the muppets on Sky think it will be, but unless we keep them scoreless early on as Paul says, we're done.

lets hope Briers has another mare against us and the doglover stubs his toe on a nail in the morning of the match
in the forwards we are equal IMO, its the halves & centres i think were light against them.
Funny how knock out football evens things up though isnt it

Carvell out too - this is working out in our favour, such a shame that Moa isnt back!

If that is the case, probably the Sky experts may base an equal proportion of their commentary about both teams missing players, on the other hand maybe not.

Still think he will play on Saturday after having a 'miracle recovery' and taking the place of a player who has had a 'illness' on Friday night.
